By the received rules of the law be

ambassador or a representative minis
ter of one country from another is re
paroled as an evidence of such un
frifajy fooling1 as to be equivalent
a most to a declaration of war The

notice that friendly relations are no
lner desired Though this is not an
actual entrance upon hostilities war is
the lug ical result if the diplomacy of

pretty quickly explain the cause of dis
Tito and come to a better
r - why the officials and diplo

Special Correspondence of tho Gazette
New York April 2 There is one sensa
tion I miss entirely which I was promised
and which I confidently looked forward to
experiencing and tluit is tho feeling of
littleness and insignificance said to be Uie
part of the couiparativey unknown stranger
m a groat city the lost sno wed under feel
ing of one always accustomed to the coun
try village or small city going about alone
for the first time in a great metropolis
It is true the importance of the individual
shrinks somewhat when he is so infinitely
multiplied when he is presented to your ob
servation as one variation among a million
or as an exception of 10000 exceptions
to the rule of 100COO
But somehow this never seems to reach
to me
If I rido up from Grand street ferry in
the ar zar car facetioasly called Old
Greeny through the swarming eastern
districts I am moved to pity by the squalor
and discomfort in which theo people live
by tho sight of the wretched slovenly
women and most of all by tho herds of
little dirty children and I think what 1 can
do for theso my poor subjects
If I walk up Broadway after a matinee
studying the meeting and passing streams
of beauty grace fashion and elegance I
am charmed delighted nothing is further
from my thought than a feeling of repin
ing or envy -Here you are my dear peo
ple the flower of my kingdom fine well
highbred daintily clad happy and prosper
ous Here are my pretty girls my sweet
women and my line distinguished looking
men Where else will you find such fresh
cheeks glowing eyes grace ot hearing
and such beautiful and luxurious attire
It is a happy people and I a favored
queen
I board with a little family in a tiny llat
Everything is close and small and dainty as
a cabinet it is housekeeping in miniature
A pretty little parlor three bits of bed
rooms a cunning dining room a scrap of a
kitchen that is a small domestic laboratory
as neat and dainty as the movement of a
Swiss watch All is planned to the per
fection of convenience everything to your
hand hot and cold water coal gas the
bath etc
There is plenty of everything except
those two things which long time dwellers
of the free prairies or equally free mount
ains can hardly accustom themselves to do
without room and light
Coming from the limitless plains of West
Texas where there Is more room than any
thing else and whero the interesting prob
lem two thirds of the year Is how to bar
out or subdue and modify the all pervading
overwhelming rays of the great glorious
burning life renewing sun this gloom and
contraction arc to me the most striking
features of my home life These little dark
bedrooms where the gas must be lighted
two thirds of the day seem but chambers
for the whispering of sad secrets The
other day when I was a little at a loss Just
what to do with myself some one sug
gested why dont you go to the parade
of tho United Stepbrothers or some
thing of the sort
I said with promptness and decision
that the United Stepbrothers misht pa
rade until they wore the granite blocks of
Fifth avenue to the seductive smoothness
of asphalt that though a wicked charm
wero laid on tham by a modern fairy they
must continue to march and inarch there
till I came and looked at them and set them
free they might go on forever like Mr
Tennysons brook or a procession of Wan
dering Jews for I would never never go
I am shy of parades 1 have been ever
since St Patricks day I will confess
all and see if you dont think I have rea
son
On that day my host said to me Here
Texas youre getting low in your mind tho
St Patricks day parade is just the thing
for you
When shall I go said I and whero
Well tney start at l u ami tney wont
be full before i oclock Better go out
about20
So I went
One member of the family wanted to put
a green ribbon on mo and another warned
me to get a boquot so theyll think its
for Dennis or Mike or whoever your best
man in the parade is and everybody will
make way for you everywhere But I
scorned precautions and despised counsel
and I went forth snorting as it were with
eagerness for the fray and in a state of
puffed up complacency that was an invita
tion for something to come and fall on mo
1 struck the parade first at Twenty eighth
street O it was delightful Here would
come a band playing away for dear life
and everybody marching very much in step
then gradually more and more straggling
until it was a regular go-as-you-please
scramblo Then another band everybody
in step and so on
What is it so taking about things mili
tary Tho mere fluttering tap tap of a gray
or blue tape tossed back over a martial
shoulder and dipping in timo to the wearers
tread is snatching the squeal of a fife the
boom boom of tho big drum the stirring
rattle of the little ones tho pulsing tread
tho clinkingof sabers how inspiring
It is the urchin in all our hearts responds
to this sort of thing I wouldnt give much
for the finest bred lady that hasnt a touch
of this boy nature It is the element in us
that keeps tho world young and stirring
that supplies readers of border romances
gives great heroic figures to history art
and the stage and furnishes admiring au
diences for them to pose before or perform
to
There wore banners and standards and
queer collars and aprons no end Now
women dressed up tricked out and on pa
rade will wear tho greatest variety of
smirks no two faces will have the same
degree of quality of self consciousness
pleased vanity or simpering complacency
But a lot of men in tinsel and fringe and
feathers can always be divided into two
classes the tickled and the sheepish The
former go strutting alonj rejoicing lika
South Sea Islanders in every ono of the
seven colors they wear glory In every bit of
tinsel and every chicken feather The latter
skulk beside them ia a hang dog manner
trying to hide their white cotton gloves
under their green silk aprons then terri
fied to cover their green silk aprons with
their whito cotton gloves then in despair
to look nonchalant and unconcerned in
which latter they succeed so well that you
think a policeman is waiting round the cor
ner to take them back tho minute the Jam
boree is over
Well the parade paraded and every time
it got entirely past I went away got a car
rode up ahead and caught it again And
every time I caught It again it was happier
less in step and more The
fellows on the Irish jaunting car with tho
green piano cover over it hit each other in
the back of the head mora vehemently and
Eromlscuously as they waved their flags I
egan to understand what a St Patricks

Everybody laughed more I laughed
more Then I stopped and wondered why 1
should laugh I hadnt had anything But
it was no use It was In the air and I was
just as jolly as tho best cf them Some of
the riders began to have a distinct rotary
motion an their horses and to smile Indul
gently at space
Suddenly away up town late in the af
ternoon I got caught in a solid mass of
good humored humanity so dense that J
couldnt wink much less budge a foot
There I stood becoming more and moro in
ebriated every moment as I Inhaled gal
lons and gallons of condensed alcoholic

looked at each other and smote their hands

A SWEET SUBJECT
A Washington Letter Creates a
Flurry In Sugar Circles
THE EFFECT OF THE NEW LAW
Soino or Texss Prominent Tlauters to Go
to the National Capital in the Hope
of Obtaining a More Favor
able Construction
Special to the Gazette
Houston Tkx April 2 A very im
portant communication has been retoived
by a prominent planter in Houston from
the internal revenue department at Wash
ington Tho contents of tho note could
not be ascertained but from a gentle
man who is largely interested in sugar
matters it was learned that tho
communication dwelt to some extent upon
tho workings of the new law giving a
bounty of 2 cents per pound on all sugars of
a certain grade manufactured in tho United
States This law went into effect April 1
and is scarcely three days old
The startling feature of tho let
ter i3 in the statement that
the planters will bo unable under a certain
construction of the law to recover the
bounty of 2 cents per pound if they manu
facture what is known as seconds
Although a Gazette reporter attempted
to ascertain the full force of this construc
tion of tho now law as well as
a copy of the letter referred
to ho was unsuccessful Very few
planters in Houston had seen the commu
nication and those who had read it rcf used
to talk One gentleman however said that
the sugar trust no doubt had connived
at the new law and would
bo enabled under the construction
placed upon it by the internal revenue de
partment to be master of the situation
with the planters to a large extent at the
mercy of the trust Tho gentleman did
not wish to have his name mentioned but
continued If this construction
or interpretation of the new
law should not bo changed
or modified it will have the effect of pre
venting the planters from making sugar
from seconds which is the only product
they hvo to enter into direct competition
with the trust also by leaving the trust in
control of the sugar business of tho
country and giving it the power to
largely regulate pricos it can dictate the
price to be paid the planter for seconds
and tho price at which it will sell tho re
lined sugar to tho consumer With this
double barrelled advantage the trust ought
to make a good thing out of it
Itis belie vedhowoverthat the construction
which the internal revenue department has
placed upon tho new law can be modified
and tho planters will be given an equal
chance to make sugar from tho seconds and
obtain a bounty on the same as it was orig
inally supposed they would However there
was considerable discussiou going on in
sugar circles yesterday regarding the letter
received from Washington and it is re
ported some of the most prominent planters
of the state will go to the national capital
in hopes of obtaining a more favorable con
struction of the new law by tho depart
ment To one South Texas planter alone
the bounty means 70000 per annum

ley to day decided to tako action in regard
o the petition of the residents of tho penin

Mexico Ho will send tho Indian Seminole
negro scouts and Lieut Kyan from Neville
Springs to Pulvo sixteen miles from Pre
sidio where a detachment of cavalry is at

Stanley can do no more He will- not ba
able to establish a post yet awhile Speak
ing of the matter ho said it is tho disposi
tion of the secretary of war to abolish
small pasts and concentrate the
troops in large posts I tried to convince
the secretary to tne contrary but I suppose
tho question of economy cuts too great a
figure in the decision in this regard The
entire Mexican border is subject to out
lawry The government will always keep
posts at tho points of entrance into Mexico
like El Paso Eaglo Pass Laredo and
Brownsville As for tho last named I be
lieve the secretary will soon do something
Gen Stanley has appointed Lieut Daniel

A Bloody Battle
Sax Francisco Cai April 1 Private
advices from Valparaiso state that the iron
clad Blanco belonging to the insurgents
recently attempted toblow up the armed
government tug Florence with a fish tor
pedo It missed the tug boat struck by the
lloating dry dock in tho harbor blowing it
to pieces The Blanco was thereupon treated
to a hot fire of shot and shell from every
gun in the forts and steamed out of the
harbor The samo night the torpedo boat
and tug Florence stole out to attack the
Blanco The ironclad was not alone being
in company with the sloop-of-war O Hig
gins Both ships compelled the government
vessels to return to harbor and followed in
hot purtuit and a heavy shell from tho
Blanco struck the Florence blowing her
entirely out of the water and every one of
her crew of seventeen men were either
killed or drowned A broadside from tho
O Higgins knocked the torpedo boat all to
pieces- The insurgents vessels then turned
their attention to the forts and a lively
battle ensued A shell from the forts struck
the O Higgins and went through her An
other shell caused a gun on ner quarter

3Iore International Complications
Paxama April 3 Demarara Argosy pub
lishes the following From a correspondent
upon whose correctness and veracity wo
can place full reliance we have received
the following serious intelligence from the
northwest district On the Sth of Febru
ary a man named William Campbell a
British grant holder on tho Barima and
related to a well known and respeetnble
Amacooroo family went to visit an
Englishman called Neames who holds
a place on tho Venezuelan sido of
the Amacooroo river Shortly after Camp
bells arrivnl at Neames house three
Venezuelan polico armed with guns and
one said to be a sergeant armed with n
drawn sword entered Neames house and
surrounded Campbell informing him that
they nau come to arrest him hut thev
would not tell him what for Campbell
offered no resistance but merely
said he wished to go in his own
corial The Venezuelan sergeant ordered
a policeman who was standing behind
Campbell to firo at him Tho policeman
did so fearfully shattering Campbells
right hand The police then took Campbell
away with them to an inspector who sent
him on to the Venezuelan government at
Orinico Tho governor sent Campbell back
to Amacooroo where
UE WAS LIBERATED
no charge of any kind having been made
ngainst him Campbell returned at once
to his grant nt Barima and reached tho
Morawhanna hospital on tho 14th of this
month where his hand was dressed and
everything possible done for him but ho
died on the 10th from the efTects of the
gun shot wound This act of tho
Venezuelan police has naturally caused very
bitter feeling against them amone the set
tlers both on the English and Venezuelan
side of the Amacooroo Anson district
magistrade held an inquest on Campbells
death and the jury returned a verdict of
willful murder against the police
man who shot Campbell and
tho sergeant who ordered him
to fire What has happened here Is just
what we thought would happen sooner or
later if the strained relations which exist
betweon Great Britain and Vene
zuela over the boundary question and espe
cially the formers deliberate possession of
tho northwest district were not relieved
by some settlement of tho question Wo
have no idea what our governor has done
in this matter but we hope that he has
sent to demand tho surrender of the omcers
and also Intimated to tho admiral on the
station that the services of a gunboat may
possibly be required
